Because obviously, he's going to disband the entire military and we'll rely entirely on the goodwill of others in diplomatic proceedings. zzzz.
After 8 years of "With us or against us" foreign policy, does basic diplomacy really sound like "appeasement" and do you even know what the historical context of that situation was?

Everybody's conservative idol, Ronald Reagan, negotiated with our enemies. Including the Soviet Union.
And who are our enemies in the world these days anyways? An oil exporting nation with a tiny military, composed mostly of conscripts and equipped with shoddy Russian imports and the best U.S. defense technology of the late 60s and early 70s butchered into "indigenous" designs - who are only in the spotlight because of the pithy rhetoric of a man who has no control over foreign policy and is wildly unpopular in his own nation?
